It occurs to me that amongst the many people who visit this blog (I am quite surprised at how many but THANK YOU!) there must be people with a reason to do so.

People who believe they may have had a ghostly encounter, suffered poltergeist activity or even believe that they have seen a UFO or some type of unknown creature.

I am sure that, at times, I may appear to be someone who wishes to debunk as much of the unknown as possible. That opinion might be from not having read one of my books -but let's leave the book-plugging out of this. I have allways looked at things this way: if it is explainable then offer that explanation. Because only by ending up with cases that cannot be explained will you have the true data to study.

For forty years I have applied this to accounts of creatures, ghosts and much more. I never ever jump about saying "Proof positive! This is it -this is evidence!" I do not work that way and I certainly do not want to become one of those sad people who insist that even a bump in a wood constructed house after a hot day is proof of ghosts.

I make my data available. I explain things to those observers whose accounts I have looked into. In 40 I have never ever broken a confidence or identified a witness unless they have asked me to do so in writing. This sort of thing was obligatory when working with UK and German police forces and most definitely HAD to be followed as a "never ever break" rule with the AOP Bureau because of those we worked with.

So, bearing that in mind, I wanted to ask those coming to this blog if they have ever had a genuine sighting or experience -managed to take photos or tape (and I've had 40 years examining these so fake/hoax spotting is very easy) to please get in touch. No one will have any of your personal information other than me -that includes other investigators- confidentiality is guaranteed. I will NOT accept anything sent anonymously. That will be immediately deleted.

From Dead Aquatic (Humanoid) Creatures, the giant squid and
yet undiscovered sea creatures; submarine and ships crews encountering true
leviathans. This is a fully expanded section which also refers to the so-called
‘Ningen’ sightings and video footage.

Extinct animals at sea that have been re-discovered.

The subject of Sasquatch and other mystery Hominids around
the world is dealt with including a look at the “Sasquatch-killer”, Justin
Smeja. Dr. Bryan Sykes and his DNA test results for TVs The Bigfoot Files as
well as the controversial Erickson Project and Dr. Melba Ketchum’s even more controversial Sasquatch DNA test results.

Also included are two early French UFO entity cases that
still baffle.

Ghosts, strange creatures and the Star-Child hoax. All dealt
with by the naturalist and pursuer of the strange and weird.

I have to say that I've read the Melba Ketchum paper and I do have certain reservations. I am NOT a geneticist but claims of a human-unknown hominid are basically a theory and used to explain the DNA testing results. So, really, there needs to be much more work done.

A whisper has it Dr Bryan Sykes labe may be getting involved.

When it comes to the Erickson Project, the head shot image released had me thinking "Is that Chewbacca from Star Wars?" The other clips set my neck hair on end.

In 40 years I've seen all types of UFO and creature photos and footage and this just got me thinking hoax. I mentioned this to someone who sent me the below video link.

I think Dr Ketchum is being sincere if misguided. But the Erickson Project....

Dr. Melba S. Ketchum grew up in
Texas City, Texas. She attended Texas A&M University where she
received her doctorate in Veterinary Medicine after five years at the
university. She had a mixed veterinary practice until she founded DNA
Diagnostics. Dr. Ketchum is the president and founder of DNA
Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a Shelterwood Laboratories. Established in 1985,
DNA Diagnostics has become a leader in all types of DNA testing
including: human and animal forensics, human and animal paternity and
parentage testing, disease diagnostics, trait tests, animal and human
identity testing, species identification and sex determination. Most
common species of animals are tested at DNA Diagnostics.

The final programme and in the series and I have to say that the results of the DNA tests/theory were interesting as I've written about this sort of thing in the past -I am NOT giving the conclusions as I think people should wait to watch it themselves.

It was interesting that when Bourtsev questioned "the results" -in fact it was clear that his concern was that there might have been a mix-up in the samples he had sent- he didn't get much time. In fact, to have such a distinguished group of hominologists gathered together and suggest they were almost silent in shame at the results was very wrong.

Again, this was a travelogue but if anyone ever saw the amount of field work/papers and the material they contain on almasty habits/habitats and so on they might ask WHY everything seemed dismissed because the DNA tests were negative?

It is because this series was intended to refute the possibility of there being any mystery primate anywhere and because of the rather dubious provenance of the samples the results fitted perfectly.

Overall, this series has been a disappointment (the yeti/bear results were interesting) as we saw very little of Sykes and the series was built on his work and reputation.

People -including journalists I've spoken to on other matters- are already declaring that it has been proven the yeti and Bigfoot are myths coming from the minds of nutcases and fools. Tonight add the Almasty to the list of creatures 'proven' not to exist.

David Attenborough has in the past, Life On Earth, stated that there might well be gigantic squid and other undiscovered creatures in our Oceans and seas. This statement of his belief that the Yeti might be a real primate-type should be considered very relavent:

The respected naturalist and broadcaster thinks the legendary Yeti could really exist and be living in the Himalayan Mountains

David Attenborough believes that the Yeti – or Abominable Snowman – may be real.

The world-renowned naturalist and broadcaster says he thinks the
creature of Himalayan legend – which has a North American cousin known
as Bigfoot or Sasquatch – could be much more than a myth.

“I believe the Abominable Snowman may be real. I think there may be
something in that," said Attenborough, speaking today at a showcase of
upcoming programmes on UKTV.

“There are footprints that stretch for hundreds of miles and we know
that in the 1930’s a German fossil was found with these huge molars that
were four or five times the size of human molars.

“They had to be the molars of a large ape, one that was huge, about 10
or 12 feet tall. It was immense. And it is not impossible that it might
exist. If you have walked the Himalayas there are these immense
rhododrendron forests that go on for hundreds of square miles which
could hold the Yeti."

Attenborough, who was addressing an audience at the Saatchi Gallery to
promote a second series of Natural Curiosities on the Eden channel,
explained why the existence of the beast had not been proven up until
now: “If there are some still alive and you walked near their habitat
you can bet that these creatures may be aware of you, but you wouldn’t
be aware of them.”
